Programming Wanted

Attention DJs! 

DISCOTERIA is looking  to add to its current line-up of programs and accepting programming proposals for possible new shows.  If you have an idea for a program for broadcast on DISCOTERIA, then we’d like to hear from you.

Program proposals should include the following:

  1. A brief explanation of what the program is about
  2. A brief explanation of what you hope to achieve with this program
  3. How long each “episode’ will be (e.g. 60 minutes, 90 minutes, etc)
  4. What sort of commitment you’re willing to make in terms of time and producing the product
  5. How often your show would air (daily, weekly, monthly, etc)

Please note that there are specific rules and regulations your program must comply with as part of our broadcasting license with Live365.  These are:

  • All music tracks must be in MP3 format
  • Your program must not be part of an “interactive service.” For your purposes, this means that you cannot perform sound recordings within one hour of a request by a listener or at a time designated by the listener. 
  • In any three-hour period, you should not intentionally program more than three songs (and not more than two songs in a row) from the same recording; you should not intentionally program more than four songs (and not more than three songs in a row) from the same recording artist or anthology/box set. 
  • Continuous looped programs may not be less than three hours long. 
  • Rebroadcasts of programs may be performed at scheduled times as follows: 
  • Programs of less than one-hour: no more than three times in a two-week period;
  • Programs longer than one hour: no more than four times in any two-week period. 
  • You should not publish advance program guides or use other means to pre-announce when particular sound recordings will be played. 
  • You should only broadcast sound recordings that are authorized for performance in the United States. 
  • You should pass through (and not disable or remove) identification or technological protection information included in the sound recording (if any). 

So, if you’re still interested in submitting a program idea, we’d like to hear from you.

Proposals can be sent to us in care of discoteriaradio@yahoo.ca.
